Although tempers often fray and party unity melts down toward the end of tense legislative sessions, in the Minnesota Senate Republican caucus the indignation has taken on a newly public nature this year.
With a series of tweets, a group of conservative Republican Senators have laid bare their frustration with the direction the session has gone.
Read the tweets below from Sens. Sean Nienow, R-Cambridge, Gretchen Hoffman, R-Vergas and Dave Thomspon, R-Lakeville.
